Midnight snackage.

[clo_again]

When I was ten, midnight snack meant cheese and crackers stolen from the kitchen in the middle of the night and munched under the covers with a good book. Now I'm twenty, I cook scrambled eggs and beans and eat sitting in front of the computer. Wonder what I'll have when I'm thirty. Cheeseburger and fries maybe, ordered from room service and scoffed on the balcony of whatever five star hotel I'm currently staying in.

Hah. Yeah right. ;)

... Wait, just got an email from frala and she doesn't know about scoobydumblonde either. :( I'm out of cunning plans. Well, short of buying a plane ticket which probably isn't all that plausible. Dammit, why can't everyone live on the same damn continent so I could hop on a train? -_- (And suddenly I'm amazed at how seriously I actually meant that... if it was a matter of a train journey away, I'd go. Huh.) Unfortunately I just looked at flight prices from £440 upward and then at the twenty hour travel time - ! - and um, yes, that'd probably better go on the 'last resort' pile of ideas. Um. Wow. Do people actually pay £1000 for a plane ticket? In economy? That... that would pay for my food for pretty much the whole academic year.

That seems, um. Insane. In a bad way. >:-/

So. I guess we'll just wait until tomorrow. *sighs*

*pets* You did your best and that's all you can do. :(

I'm sure she's fine and we're gonna laugh about this in a few days.

Maybe you're right. Still, I can't believe that the last time this happened I said "I should get phone numbers for these things" and then forgot all about it until now. *headdesk*

She laughed at us last time. Hopefully she'll turn up today and sigh and roll her eyes at us for being so worried. I really hope too.

:( *hugs* It was a good plan though.

And they can cost that much, but that's probably because you just looked at flight prices for tomorrow. If you book them a long way in advance they're cheaper. But it also depends where you're going, and the West Coast of the US is pretty far ;)

*hugs back* Thought it'd work. *sighs* Oh well.

Ah,t hat's true, they were prices for within like a week I think. It's just I could've gone to Australia in the middle of the tourist season for less than £800; charging £1000 for one ticket seems... mad. Someone out there must have that kind of money, because they wouldn't charge it otherwise but wow.
